Get bank to freeze account of culprit
In swift action, the cyber crime police of North East division, on Monday, cracked an online fraud and managed to freeze the culprit’s back account within three hours. The money was transferred online to the account by a woman who was desperate to purchase a drug to treat black fungus. The complainant, a working woman, admitted her 65-year-old father to a private hospital three days ago after he was diagnosed with black fungus infection. The doctors asked her to arrange for Amphotericin B injection, which is in high demand but not easily available. The doctor shared a contact number of a person, which he reportedly got from a WhatsApp group. The woman called the person who claimed to be a pharmacist. He offered to courier the medicine and asked her to transfer ₹1.3 lakh online.
